STAMFORD, CT – December 27, 2023 – Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers face Justin Jefferson and the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17 of NBC’s Sunday Night Football to keep their postseason dreams alive. Football Night in America airs at 7 p.m. ET, followed by kickoff at 8:20 p.m. ET from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minn., on NBC, Peacock, and Universo.
The Packers and Vikings, both 7-8, are still in the hunt for the NFC playoffs, albeit they are currently outside of the final Wild Card slot. Sunday’s game is virtually a “must-win” for both teams, as a loss will reduce either team’s playoff chances. The Vikings currently have the tiebreaker against the Packers thanks to a 24-10 victory earlier this season.
| Team | Current Playoff Odds | Playoff Odds with Win | Playoff Odds with Loss |
| Packers | 31% | 62% | 2% |
| Vikings | 26% | 47% | 4% |
On Christmas Eve, the Packers defeated the Carolina Panthers, 33-30, because to Love’s 219 passing yards and three total touchdowns (two passing, one rushing). In the road win, running back Aaron Jones carried for a season-high 127 yards, and wide receivers Romeo Doubs and rookie wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks both caught a touchdown.
Last week, the Vikings were defeated 30-24 by the Detroit Lions. Justin Jefferson, the reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year, had 141 yards and a touchdown catch on six receptions; the three-time All-Pro selection now has 5,648 career receiving yards, passing Michael Thomas (5,512) for the most receiving yards by a player in their first four seasons in NFL history. Jefferson, who is in his fourth season, is also tied with Julio Jones (28 games) for the second-most career games with 100-plus receiving yards in a player’s first five seasons (only Hall of Famer Randy Moss (30) has more). In addition, QB Nick Mullens passed for 411 yards and two touchdowns in only his second start for the Vikings.
Mike Tirico (play-by-play), Cris Collinsworth (analyst), and Melissa Stark (sideline reporter) will call the Packers-Vikings game. Terry McAulay, a three-time Super Bowl referee, is the Sunday Night Football rules analyst.
Executive producer Rob Hyland and director Drew Esocoff oversee NBC’s coverage of Sunday Night Football. SNF has a total of 11 Sports Emmy nominations for Outstanding Live Sports Series.
